This Is Your FBI: Three's a Crime

The Equitable Life Assurance Society presents, This is your FBI. This is your FBI. The official broadcast from the files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation transcribed and presented as a public service by the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States and the Equitable Society's representative in your community.

Did you ever hear of people paying particular attention to radio commercials? Well, that's exactly what's happening on this program right now. Thousands of people will listen with special attention to tonight's middle commercial, all because of a postcard they received in the mail this morning.

A postcard from their Equitable Society representative, inviting them to hear the news about the Equitable Society's independent 60s plan, a practical workable plan for people who want complete independence after the age of 60. I'll be back in just 14 minutes to give you full information on this special plan offered by the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States.

Tonight's FBI file! Freeze a crime! The number of criminal fingerprint cards in the files of your FBI recently passed the staggering total of 18 million. That is a depressing fact.

But even more deplorable is the fact that these latest figures show that among those arrested in the past year, the greatest number worked 41 years away. The second predominant age group was 22, and the third was 43.

This is a wealthy nation, and the Horn of Plenty is our national promise. But there is grave doubt in many quarters as to whether or not any nation can long continue to surrender its youth to the ways of crime, and still continue to prosper.

Tonight's case from the vials of your FBI is the story of three of those young men. Three young men who might have included in their number, your own son. For this story could take place anywhere, and could happen to anyone.
